The finding of burns on the thumb &ldquo;supports the fact that this guy is reaching for the gun, if he has gunpowder particulate material in the wound.&rdquo; But NPR blurred over the inconvienent news.</p>

On Friday's <em>Morning Edition</em>, NPR's Cheryl Corley stacked her report on President Obama's gun control push full of left-of-center talking heads. But the one who stood out was Father Michael Pfleger, whom she merely identified as a "<strong>social activist</strong>". Corley ignored his controversial background, which includes a <a href="http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/rev._jeremiah_wright_delivers_blessing_at_chicago_catholic_church/" target="_blank">2008 defense of Rev. Jeremiah Wright</a>, Obama's former radical pastor, and <a href="http://capitolfax.com/2007/05/30/priest-threatens-to-snuff-out-legislators/" target="_blank">threatening to "snuff out"</a> a Chicago gun store owner in 2007.</p>
<p> The correspondent also failed to point out the liberal affiliations of two other "activists" who are on the faculty at University of Chicago: a political science professor with an interest in "lesbian and gay politics" and a law professor who is also a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution.</p>
